Get Trim and Toned

One of the best ways to reshape your body (and save time!) is to combine calorie-torching cardio with resistance training. Multitask with the new TRX Rip Trainer ($190; trxtraining.com), a portable resistance tool that gets your heart pumping while helping to develop power, strength and balance.

On the following slides is a seven-exercise, total-body circuit. Warm up with five- to 10-minutes on the treadmill, rower, bike, etc, and five minutes of dynamic stretching. Then perform each exercise for 30 seconds per side (1 minute total), with a 45-second rest interval between sets. For maximum benefit, go through the full circuit two to three times. Enjoy the burn—and your new, lean body.
